I recently installed my AEM 30-0300 wideband and it's stuck in what I guess is a warmup cycle. The gauge reads HEAt > ..... > LS4.9 > HEAt etc. If I hold the gauge in my hand and turn it just right I can get an AFR reading. But as soon as I stop holding my mouth right it goes right back into...

BACKSTORY: Car was running ok before I had some maintenance issues I needed to address. Mainly loose converter bolts and a crank bolt that almost backed out. And by almost backed out, I mean I could easily turn the bolt by hand when I checked it.While the car was down, I figured I'd pull the...

This weekend I tried to pull the oil pan to inspect the bottom end and ran into problems. Using the VFAQ, I pulled all 5 bolts holding the t-case to the transmission and tried pulling the t-case. I tried wiggling it from side to side and prying it off and nothing worked.I finally grabbed it...

I pulled my upper timing belt cover today and found this. The belt has maybe 500 miles on it, which sucks but I'm glad I caught it before it snapped.I'm tearing into it tomorrow, anyone want to take bets on what caused it? My money is on the oil pan bolts.This was my friends car and he did...

I'm in the process of getting my IPT 2800 stall and FP Green to play nice together off the line, without nitrous. I want to pick some of the auto guys brains about overlap and cam timing for getting an auto to launch hard. It seems like the general consensus for cam timing on our cars is less...

I recently bought a 1G with a bunch of high-quality parts on it. It has what looks like an FP green, but it has a black FP oil filter instead of a red one. The guy I bought it from said he ordered everything from FP new, but the black filter is for ball bearing turbos. Did FP make a ball bearing...

Mighty Car Mods recently posted a video showing a very simple test to determine if a boost leak is worth fixing. They had a BOV on their car that bubbled when they sprayed it with soapy water during a BLT. To measure the amount of air it was leaking they put a condom on the BOV, kept 15psi in...

These came with a car I bought and I don't have the DMT flow sheet for them. Has anyone used these, or have any baseline InjBatteryAdj values for the FIC 1050SP injectors?I found this pic in the classifieds, but I'm not sure how to translate this to DSMLink. Or if I even should because...

Does anyone have a step by step on how to do this? My bushing are completely shot and need to be replaced.

I just bought a car that came with a BEP exhaust manifold. I didn't even know they made one. It has "BEPDSM7" stamped into the #1 runner and it looks like an Evo 3 clone with an external wastegate provision that has been welded shut. Does anyone have info on this manifold? All I could find was...

Occasionally when I start my car, hot or cold, it will run rough then after a few minutes it'll run smooth and all my power is back, almost like someone flipped a switch. This is on my 92 VR4.While it was running rough I disconnected the injectors one at a time to see if idle changes. They all...

This is mainly an FYI for anyone thinking about this setup. I was pretty shocked how big a difference the cutout made. This was on a 2g with a stock 6 bolt swap and the following exhaust setup:Old FP Green FP Manifold PR external wastegate o2 housing Tial 38mm wastegate 3" downpipe 3" cutout...

1320Video just posted this to youtube. Awesome races, does anyone here know this guy?

I just picked up a 7 blade HX35g with a 9cm turbine housing. I took it apart to get some measurements on the inducer and extucer wheels and came up with this:Compressor- 54/78mm Turbine- 55/65mmThe compressor seems right, got lucky it wasn't 49mm, but the turbine wheel seems small to me...

I recently bought a used set of 1100cc FIC high-z injectors from a guy locally. It came with the upper orings and lower insulators but not the insulator that goes between the fuel rail and the injector. When I looked at FICs site I don't see any upper insulators in their picture...

I'm pretty sure my EGT gauge is reading high and I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this? It was installed by the previous owner and the probe is in the exhaust manifold and I don't know what brand it is. But under cruise it reads between 1500-1600 and when I go WOT it will usually be...

I recently had my throttle body shaft seals replaced by a reputable guy on another forum. When I got the tb back the throttle plate was very difficult to open. After opening and closing it by hand for about half an hour it had gotten better but it still didn't slam shut like it should. I put it...

I just installed a rebuilt NT throttle body on my talon. When I did a BLT it was leaking from the little copper colored plugs behind the vacuum ports. I got the pic below from vfaq but it has the same copper plugs, the green dot on the right is one of them. Best I can tell three of those plugs...

My clutch slave cylinder started leaking recently and when I went to replace it my hard line broke. Since the car already had a SS braided line from the fender hard line to the bracket I thought I'd just buy the STM stainless clutch line and be done with it. And even if the salve goes out...

I'm looking to see what your best 60' times are. Stock cars to heavily modded cars welcome. I'd like to see what it takes to get these cars to 60' well.

According to my butt dyno and my log it doesn't look like my car gains any HP after I rev past about 4000rpm. It's just a flat consistent pull.I should also note that this isn't my Talon. This is on a Galant VR4 with stock longblock with Cyclone intake, 2g exhaust manifold, Evo3 16g, FMIC...

I have a cyclone intake manifold and I'm trying to set it up to be RPM activated by the FPRS. I found this diagram online and it seems pretty simple and I have all the parts but I'm not sure this is right, or if I'm reading this right.Does the canister flow one way from B to A? It makes...

I have Galant VR4 and I can't seem to find the cause of an intermittent no start. When I try to crank it one of three things happens:1. Nothing. 2. I hear the relays click but the starter doesn't turn 3. It fires right upIf it doesn't turn over I just keep turning the key off and on until it...

I have a Talon with ECMLink and and I recently bought a Galant VR-4 with a keydiver chip. I want to switch ECMLink over to the Galant so I can tune it, but I want to keep the tune on my Talon. Would it be possible to put the Talon's ECMLink tune on the Keydiver chip?I have a chip burner...

Does anyone know how to remove the plastic trim piece that is around the trunk latch on a VR-4? Not the part that's on the trunk lid but the one around the striker. I would just yank on it but I don't want to break it.

I left the dome light on in my car at dinner last night and the battery died. I found a guy to help me jump it but he put the cables on his battery on backwards. He actually fused the cable to his positive battery terminal and had to rip it off. Fortunately my car started fine and I was able to...

Don't see a sub forum for anywhere west of Richmond or south of NOVA. I'm in Roanoke, just wondering if there are any other dsmtuners guys in the surrounding area.

I acquired an older style 1990 NT throttle body to use on my 1992 tsi. I know 1990 was kind of an odd year, but will everything from my '92 TB swap over to the '90 TB?The main reason I want to do this is because I'm always fighting boost leaks where my upper FMIC pipe bolts to the TB...

It's about 37* here so I figured it'd be a good time to do a pull. The VE tables obviously needs a little work but I wanted you guys to take a look and see if you see anything that stands out. I'm just starting to tune WOT so I'm only running about 16psi and my AFR and timing are pretty...

I can get the pressure up to 20psi no problem but I'm not sure how fast the pressure is suppose to drop.Starts @ 20 psi @15psi after 11 sec @10psi after 45 sec @0psi after a couple minutesI've read that pressure leaking out was normal but I'm not sure how fast or slow is acceptable...

I would say my idle is good but it is a little rough and I needed to set the deadtime for the injectors pretty high to get to .25 for airflow per rev.My process was:Ground timing and diagnostics and set BISS so car idled at 850rpm Ungrounded timing and diagnostics and adjust BISS so...

I've just converted to SD using ECMLink's plug and play cable and gone through their wiki and the how-to threads here but I can't seem to get my LC1 to match what DSMLink logs.Here's what I know and what I've tried so far:1. Wiring White wire is grounded to ECU ground Brown wire to pin 4...

My plan is to use the P port off the throttle body and T it off into the fuel pressure solenoid and boost gauge. Then use the B port as the source for my MAP sensor.This would probably work well for the MAP, but would this be a problem for my AFPR, fuel pressure solenoid, or boost gauge?

First off here's the setup:6 Bolt block 2g ported heads 1g intake manifold and TB Evo 8 intake cam Evo 9 exhaust cam 2g ported exhaust manifold 18G Mitsu turbo ported polished and clipped 10 degreesI got a decent deal on the car, and the previous owner built this motor. But I'm...

So I'm pretty sure I got burned on a DSMLink purchase from the classifieds here. The seller first claimed he was late shipping it, then said it would arrive in a few days, and here it is almost a month later and no part. He hasn't even logged onto the site since the 8th and isn't responding...

Does anyone have a picture of the MAF connector on a 1g? When I bought my car it was running SD so I have no clue where the connector is or what it looks like. If you know which part of the harness it comes out of that would be helpful, I'm afraid the guy before might have cut it out of the car...

I bought my car with an old VPC setup on it with the temp sensor tapped into the intake manifold and a MAP sensor (Denso 949940-6110) that gets it's source from the P-port on the throttle body. The P-port has a T on it and is a source for the boost gauge, MAP, and the emissions junk.I just...

So I'm in the process of installing my FMIC and I've got a couple questions.1. I've widened the D holes on the drivers and passengers side so they're plenty big enough for the inlet/outlet. However when I try to test fit inside part of the inlet and outlet pipes are very snug against the...

I'm running pretty mild setup on a '92 AWD Talon. It has bolt ons, Evo 8 cams, Evo 8 injectors, 18g turbo, and my FMIC arrives tomorrow.Right now it's tuned in SD using only the VPC with a 550 chip. The Evo 8 injectors are larger than 550s so idle runs pretty rich. So does most of the...

I recently bought a used AFPR with fittings and unfortunately the guy gave me a fitting that bolts onto a 2g fuel rail and doesn't have bolt holes wide enough to fit my 1g rail.I'd really like to have my car up and running this weekend, does anyone know any auto parts stores that would have...

Ok so I have a few options, I recently bought a 1992 AWD Talon that has some mods (see below). The previous owner was at one point in time running a GM MAFT, but then switched to a VPC but left the GM MAF on the car :idontknow:I want this to be a daily driver and have good manners around...

Well, I just bought a 1g and the first thing I started was an oil change. Well the redneck piece of work that had it before me cross threaded the oil filter and messed the threads all up. How do I go about fixing this?Super pissed, if he can't even install an oil filter no telling what...

I've been doing some searching around and I've seen a number of threads on this topic. And in every thread there are multiple people saying it can be done, and multiple people saying it can't. Hopefully you guys can give me a definitive answer :thumb:What I'd like to do is install a...

I currently don't have a DSM but I'm trying to jump into the game with a decent stock awd DSM and do the build up myself. I've dealt with "built" cars before and I feel much better about knowing first hand what all has been done.That being said, what do you guys think about this deal I found...
